## Catalyst Analysis: Geopolitical Supply De-escalation Diplomatic engagements concerning Iran have softened the aggressive upward momentum in global crude oil prices.

The easing of tensions directly impacts near-term supply concerns, shifting focus toward broader macroeconomic demand indicators and inventory prints.
